The new building is composed of four high-rise towers that form a two-story glass lobby space, through which the street and inner gardens are connected. The second-floor podium features a restaurant accessible. The podium roof includes an outdoor sky garden with space for outdoor dining.
SmithGroup took careful consideration of these adjacent buildings to ensure that the new Taiping building displays its own character in the landscape. Public green space is planned around the site with the largest public park located on the northwest side of the site. Most of the ground floor space around the site is open to the public. There are large shopping malls in the northeast side, and the remaining adjacent blocks have street-level mixed-use retail.
